pie of fair education and Judgment Can
understand them. Their true meaning
should accord with common sense, This
spiritof the law, what it was intended
to mean, should concern us more than
mere technicalities, or an over literal
and strained Interpretation OF it.
The broadcast minds and highes. Judi
oial authorities favor this view. Indeed
we have q fresh instance Of this in the
recent decision Of Judge Harlan, of In
diana, on the notorious election forgery
cases of that state. His remarks on the
Interpretation Of the penal laws of In
diana apply equally we'll to the present
case. He says: Il certainly do not ex-
press my dissent from the rule in the
construction of the penal laws, but in
constructing them strictly we are not at
liberty to fritter away its intent by
metaphysical nieeties. The rule does
not exclude the application Of common
sense in order to avoid an absurdity
which it is presumed the legislature did
not intend to commit"

Pierre Free Press: The fight between
Gov. Church and Yankton still continues.
The Gov. refuses to approve the plans
for the asylum until some of the trustees
resign, and they refuse to resign under
fire. It is unfortunate for the insane Of
south Dakota that this state of affairs
exists, but it looks to the Free Press as
though the trustees were right in not al
lowing themselves to be bulldozsd, as
their regulations are at stake.
Grand Forks Herald; Gov. Church is
in O dilemma r~elatlvis to the Yankton
insane asylum embrogiio. He has evf-
IDENTIFY made q serious mistake in this
matter, for which the territory will suf-
fer for the next two years at least. The
governor cannot remove the board, and
he is not disposed to allow them to
dlsburse the large amount of money
voted by the last Legislature. According
to the Bismarck Tribune, s.the territor-
al treasurer now has IN his hands
about $4,000 belonging to the Yankton
asylum permanent improvement fund.
Il; can use it for no other purpose, con
~jsequently it will remain in his hands as
idle money. As this money will remain
in the treasury OF least nine months
logger, if the building is DOT erected this
season, the treasurer will probably con-
Glade it advisebl, to loan the money on,
for the bensas Of the territory. Oh,

he can get no interest, but for a period Of
say nine mopths ne can get AZ per CEN
